I can't confirm this issue. Although I got an Anker 1900mAh battery (which is a must have imho), my battery life is not as bad as yours. I roughly lose 0,5-1% per hour in standby. I have mobile data (or wifi) always on, sleep policy set to never. Autosync of twitter (every 15m), weather (1h), facebook (30m), gmail and whatsapp activated. And I use Stock Kernel...

For me it also sounds like an app which is eating your battery. Unfortunately we can't check Apps\Running in settings, 'cause it gives a FC on ICS (not ROM related). This helped me on the last Gingerbread to find the app eating my batt. It was a game, which started on boot, if you play or if you don't (don't remember the name). But the watchdog method should help you as well.

I got one question, which app where you (scotsman) using to grab those detailed battery stats? Or is it implemented and I just can't find it? Also, what do you use to make screenshots? drocap2 doesn't work for me anymore (ICS related I think).
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Doesn't volume down + power take a screenshot?
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Could be the wifi polling interval...
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
No... But as I totally forgot about build-in screenshot capability I tried power+home. Worked :rolleyes:

Last time I had battery drain like like that I had the best wifi perfomance checked unchecked it and was back to normal
[HTC Sensation] henhoy:
At home i have two wireless accesspoints, one running at 300Mbps, and one running at 54Mbps, no matter what rom(senseless/sense/aosp) i have installed, then i have a huge battery drain over night when connected to

the 300Mbps accesspoint.

So i believe it could be a wireless problem.

/henhoy
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
What wifi protocol gives 300Mbps?
[HTC Sensation] steveapp:
Just wanted to say thanks to Baad. Earlier roms had issues like rebooting or bad battery life, the latest one is perfect - 6 hours and im on 97% battery, considering im at work with lousy phone and wifi signal this is epic. And so far i cant see anything go wrong, no reboots or crashes of any sort.

Brilliant work and thanks :-)

I would agree that the_scotsmans battery life is probably app related but another possibility is signal, we sometimes have signal outages (a vodafone cell has problems or similar) and then by battery can go downhill fast as it searches for signal constantly.
[HTC Sensation] djtosh:
latest rom is awsome thanks very much

[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
try to play with DTIM and BEACON value on your access point. i had drain (like 20% / night with both desire and sensation ) with a D-Link Dir 655 AP. once i adjusted those values everything was back to normal
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
Wifi-N can go up to 450 mbps.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
And at what speed does the phone max out?
[HTC Sensation] henhoy:
Could I have the values you use as a startingpoint ?

Thanx.

I still have the randomly reboots, I don't know what to do. That's why I'm posting this.

I have the lastest firmware: 3.12

I have the lastest rom: 4.3.2

And I use the stock kernel

And I've tried to go back to the GB rom of insertcoin but also than I have reboots.

Thanks in advance

hell if i remember, i changed the router half a year ago.was trial and error anyway

[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Hey folks!

I haven't been reading on xda for more than a month now, was occupied with my end-semester exams and some heavy drinking afterwards.

So I see my favourite custom ROM is on ICS now. As I understand it's based on a leaked ICS testbuild form HTC, correct?

Do you guys see any serious improvement over the GB Roms? I remember people always saying how the Sensation will "fly" once it gets ICS and proper dual core support.

So, does it fly now? Is there even any improvement at all compared to pre-ICS insert coin roms?

Reason I ask is beacuse I got my Sensation replaced under warranty and now I have the option to exchange it for a new SGSII (Yeah it's butt ugly but way faster), so I don't feel much like rooting it and stuff until I decide whether I keep it or not.

I downloaded GTAIII and it's not playable on the Sensation, but there are many other examples of this phone leaving me unsatisfied perfromance wise.

Does ICS put it on par with the SGSII or has nothing changed compared to GB?

Thanks in advance for any valuable input!
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Where can I download the latest radio and also the previous radios that work with ics ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
For me the radio in the latest firmware package 11.19 works just fine ICS and GB

Are you running ICS what radio do you have now?
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
I have the 11.19 that came with the 1.23 hboot and I did have a different one before that came with the 1.20 hboot and I was wondering if there was somewhere I could download just that radio or if anybody can point me to anywhere to download any different radios that work with ics
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I assume your current radio isn't working that great!

As you no longer have fastboot flash .img commands available you'll need to flash a radio via a PG58IMG.zip or downgrade to hboot 1.17 fastboot flash radio then re-update firmware to boot ICS

Isn't there some signal boost fix for Orange UK floating around?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
GTA runs perfectly on my sensation, even with full effects enabled. No chainfire either. Same goes for games like shadowgun too. I also can't think of any other issues which would make me think it's performance was lacking. Everything works perfectly, and I still haven't gone over to ics yet. I'm still just on insertcoin 3.4.6, with SebastianFM's hex edited stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] sretlow:
I also went to the latest rom from 3.2.x (i think). Now Im on 4.3.2. But I miss the extra status bar Quick toggle settings. So I founfd in the addon section the Shnizlon statusbar update which would give more options in the quick settings status bar. Unfortunately this mod isn't working. I do get a blue theme but the Quick settings options are not changed at all. Anyone who has a solution?
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Well I'm on stock ROM atm and GTA3 runs around 12fps or so. But even when I was on the latest 3.x.x IC-Build, the phone wasn't exactly a pocket rocket (the SGS2 was faster in almost every way).

It was a zillion times faster than on stock though (thanks to our chef), but still not as smooth as I wished it to be (just imho, pls don't flame immediatly if you disagree). So I'm really wondering if ICS gives a considerable boost in performance. It's supposed to make proper use of dual core and hardware-acceleration?
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
ICS is still a work in progress, it's improved greatly from the first release and with all the DEV's work so judging how fast, smooth, and compatible it is with 3rd party software is just plain silly ATM. APM, EQS well, why would anyone waste hours on those if they have to be redone for the final version
[HTC Sensation] qwertzri:
I did it all
[HTC Sensation] scstryfe:
Some people have no idea what a Dev cycle is, they just want the latest cool **** for their phone.....for free....when they demand it. Funny part is most of them wouldn't put up with that from others IRL, but will be complete douches online. Just like every other cyber community, always those that just don't get it...

OK, so all joking aside, I am having REALLY good battery usage so far on IC4.3.2. I installed some of my most used apps, including System Panel, and only at 70% after almost 13 hours. Granted, no wifi or Bluetooth was enabled, and I was asleep for some of it, but DAMN....still looks better than anything I got running on the Sensation to date.

System Panel is SO worth the few bucks for ROM nerds, just FYI...

See the screenies...

I'm also getting random reboots, today i have had 4 or 5.

They were totally random;

i had one during an telephone call

another one while using the browser

and another one while i was browsing some music (spotify)

and even one when i wanted to wake my phone

I have tryed alot, and have read all the FAQ's and such but nothing seems to fix these random reboots, ahh well its an early test leak so you won't hear me complaining :) Just to inform the devs the problems still excists.

P.S. the battery accuracy still isn't good for me also?

Going to Apps -> Only Activated (dunno whats its called in English) it gives me a force close after 2 secs.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
I really don't know how people are having probs like rebooting fcs etc...I'm on latest 4.3.2 since yesterday n I am having NO REBOOTS FCS OR ANYTHING WEIRD HAPPENING. I have a USA sensation with xe firmware, during Rom install I did beats, 1.5 kernel, deleted books/locations/more system apps etc..and my phone is as stable as day one when I bought the phone. Those having problems..all you have to do is read. :-)

Ps..only flash add-ons from the add-on folder...no where else
[HTC Sensation] scstryfe:
Baad, purely cosmetic fix to interactive install, but noticed when I chose to install Super Smooth Rosie and then chose NOT to install Ultra Smooth Rosie that the message about the NO decision still said Super Smooth Rosie. Make sense? Install still worked fine, just more FYI. I always hate finding that kind of crap later...

[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Maybe I'm imagining things but scripts in init.d are not executed. Just for test I placed file 99test (666) in there with following lines:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /etc/mat9v
echo 1 >/sdcard/mat9v2

Both target files are 666.

After reboot files remain empty.

Can anyone verify that?

Where is run-parts activated? In init.post_boot.sh ? Somewhere else?

ok I may have found a reason - all those *.sh files are 644 - so they can't be executed - is that from the beginning or since fix permission was run, I don't know.
[HTC Sensation] scstryfe:
I did an "upgrade" first, no wiping of the phone, yesterday to 4.3.2 from 4.3.1 and it installed and worked OK. But I noticed several reboots during basic operations within an hour. Even once right during the taking of a photo.

I then Super Wiped, and did fresh 4.3.2 install and it has been rock solid ever since. I installed Beats, Bravia, Super Smooth Rosie, SebastianFm OC Kernel and removed the HTC apps. So far....top notch ROM release!

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
This may be the cause of my misery...Im having my phone lock up several times a day now(with stock kernel and with OC kernel). Also, my benchmarks suck which suggests a gremlin is on the loose! Ill do a superwipe this time to see how it goes.

[HTC Sensation] shadowillusions:
The funny part is, i do read all the instructions and carefully follow them, even more funnier is the part that i exactly choose the same options as u did (and also went back to the stock sensation kernel). Now i've manually flashed the 1,7 ghz kernel and its working now for some hours without reboots, so fingers crossed and will post on any updates i have.
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
oooh, your battery may be flat before youve managed to dial a phone number. good luck. I tried the 1.7G and my battery life was tragic, but I also got no reboots - i think Baad has fixed em (well for me anyway)
[HTC Sensation] tangcla:
Has anyone noticed that the % battery icon sometimes disappears? Why is this?
[HTC Sensation] df1ech:
I have that only at 100% as soon as it goes down to 99% it's there.

Btw Battery life is awesome on this rom. and I solved my previous issues by superwiping the phone and start all over from scratch and NOT putting back backups but install all freshly again :)
[HTC Sensation] scylla69:
I haven't downloaded 4.3.2 yet, but my guess is that it's just a missing or misspelled png file in framework, you can check it easily by pulling framework-res.apk out of the rom and browsing it with 7zip or something similar.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
As per the changelog (I think), it will be blank when it's at 100% ;)
[HTC Sensation] ninja.tiger26:

Nope, it doesn't yet... :(

Though I believe it's in the pipeline :)
[HTC Sensation] ninja.tiger26:
thanks, i think i kinda figured it out though i admit im not too great at all this

in build.prop there is a line most ICS roms have

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_europe/htc_pyramid/pyramid:4.0.3/IML74K/250230.102:userdebug/test-keys

and auto restore dont work. however in RCMix it does work and the build.prop shows as

#ro.build.fingerprint=htc_europe/htc_pyramid/pyramid:4.0.3/IML74K/250230.102:userdebug/test-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_europe/htc_pyramid/pyramid:2.3.5/GRJ90/168617.1:user/release-keys

could this give anyone a clue?

apologies if im way off though lol
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yea, I thought it was something related to that, but never bothered to try it. Baad would probably have more of an idea.
[HTC Sensation] ninja.tiger26:
im more shocked you agreed as tbh i know nothing about this side - but hey after watching for ages. i want to learn lol.

maybe baad will see this at some point, though i bet he knows it anyway lol

Just a quick question, if I have the original Sensation and I want to enable beats, do I need to flash the XE firmware? or that the beats and xe firmware is for the actual Sensation XE phones only?

I now have NON-XE firmware flashed and beats disabled, it is rock stable and the battery has been very good.

Is it absolutely necessary to update the radio? I have the stock radio and really don't like playing around with radios because of fear of bricking and battery drain and signal degradation after flashing a new radio.

I know it now has only 1 rom, I am talking about the firmwares here, baad used to release XE and NON-XE roms separately because of beats AFAIK, so i wonder if beats work well on NON-XE firmware, and will it cause problem if I flash XE firmware on my original Sensation?

Beats is completely unrelated to firmware. It will work just fine on non-XE firmware :)

I make a nandroid using Titanium to prevent losing applications for the first instal of this rom.

On the first reboot, Market doesn't show my applications but after a restart they where there.

Does someone has noticed,when you use the flash in automatic mode and always on mode,you will get all the pictures with too many light,that the pictures are whole white colour and nothing else seen.

If this is not the issue only for me,then this post is for Insertcoin,maybe he will get a fix soon.:)

If you have an APP problem, has anyone ACTUALLY thought of approaching the APP DEV instead of badgering Baad?? Just a thought, obviously;

He can't test against all apps

ICS is STILL Beta

Most DEVs probably haven't implemented any sort of ICS compatibility

If apps are working, count yourself lucky

9.9 times out of 10 Baad probably isn't responsible for an app not working or constantly failing...
